Quick, easy and delicious family friendly recipes for Christmas morning breakfasts. There is something for everyone in this collection of breakfast recipes.
Christmas mornings are the best. The kids are up way before us and try to wake us up or impatiently wait in their rooms, till we wake up. We all head down to the kitchen together. The husband makes coffee for the two of us and I make some hot cocoa for the kids.
We then go to our living room and huddle around the tree. We open presents and see what is in our stockings while we sip our coffee or hot chocolate.
This is one morning where I just want to soak up the cozy family time and want breakfast to magically appear at our table. While breakfast may not magically appear, I do somethings to help make that easier.
